For PDF and video with specific start time I am using different type
of hyperlinks and not Org hyperlinks. So I was under impression that
Org hyperlinks to PDF support specific page. I have even prepared
myself to start including such in instructional manual. But do they?
It implies that PDF viewer setting should be per user configurable to
accept the page argument.

One possible solution could be this. For annotations, hypothes.is uses
Javascript library http://annotatorjs.org/ and I have not finished
research of it. I just have some slight idea that the whole annotation
and position of annotation could be captured in a hyperlink to it by
using that library.

That, if only possible, would enable Org without further modifications
to use hyperlinks to annotated online WWW pages and online PDFs.

Maybe you know Javascript and you can try?
